21-year-old midfielder Fabio Carvalho is the new Liverpool manager, with new manager Arne Slot taking over. He scored against Arsenal and Manchester United in pre-season and could be a regular contender in a formation that allows him to face the middle of the park rather than stretch out on the left wing.
However, rumours of a Liverpool exit are also buzzing. Southampton, promoted from the Championship, made an offer of £15 million, but the proposal was rejected. Leicester City, also in the Premier League this season, are also in contention, according to Fabrizio Romano.
“Leicester City enter the race for Fabio Carvalho as talks start for former Fulham player.”
“Southampton had bid rejected by Liverpool last week.”

The tour of the USA is over and the evaluation of the young players has been completed by the leadership, including coach Slot.
It has been reported that the club may now release players on loan or on a complete transfer, while acquiring one centre-back, one defensive midfielder and one forward each.
The Portuguese U-21 midfielder has successfully appealed to the new manager in pre-season, but will he have a breakthrough year at Anfield in the new season…?
